Tokina? Do you think it makes any sense that Ricoh would apply a patent on Tokina's behalf?
People "inferred" it's a Sigma, then Tamron, then Tokina - because they just hate Pentax and Pentax designing lenses is a Pentax that continues to exist. Ignore the hate.

The only "naming" news is that it's a Ricoh patent, and not Ricoh Imaging.

Well, I donít think that makes any sense, but there are people who say these things. The patent proves them wrong.
